The right of every soul to call itself and others to obey God after the establishment of Sharia

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to Malik bin Al-Huwayrith and to his companion: If you are on a journey, then announce the call and stay

Hadith while the person is traveling With breaths since God created him in this world and the hereafter, it is not valid for him to be eternally resident, and if he resided in addition to one soul, God’s action against him would be invalidated. The truth, Glory be to Him, is in every soul in creation in a matter, and it is its effect in every existent eye in a special way, of which God has made us witness its precise and majestic nature.

But the dispute entered into the Fajr prayer due to the listener’s ignorance of the Lawgiver’s intent with that remembrance, for it is a supplication for the timer, unlike the rest of the prayers.

He was blind, so he did not call until he was told, “It has become morning,” meaning it is almost morning. The narrator said, “There was as much between Bilal’s call and Ibn Umm Maktum’s call as this one descended and this one ascended, so he called it a call for this possibility, I mean Ibn Umm Maktum’s call to prayer, for Eloquence in the Arabic language matches the wording in what was previously said about Bilal that he calls at night, and what we have said is supported by the hadith of Ibn Umar that Bilal called the call to prayer before dawn came, so Ibn Umar called
